The concept of paying it forward isn’t anything new. It can start totally small — like this homeless veteran who used his last $20 to help someone get home — but it makes a *huge* impact. In fact, it doesn’t even require any money. To celebrate Pay It Forward Day, all you need is the willingness to do something kind for someone — a stranger, a friend, a family member — without expecting anything in return. We’re planting seeds for a better future, and we definitely believe it will pay off.

Random acts of kindness are a great way to pay it forward, but sometimes even a smile helps. We love reminding people there is good in the world, and this is an epic way to start.

If you’re like us, paying it forward doesn’t need a specific “day” to be worthwhile. However, it’s nice to be reminded that kindness matters. These Pay It Forward Day quotes totally brightened our day, and we hope they inspire you too! Together, we can do anything.
